VIP BUS from CHIANG MAI to CHIANG RAI + FIRST IMPRESSIONS! 🇹🇭 Thailand Travel Vlog

- In today's Thailand travel vlog, we take the VIP bus to Chiang Rai after spending five wonderful weeks in Chiang Mai.
We started the day by catching a songthaew and planned to make one last trip to Central Festival Mall, but after getting stuck in traffic, we headed straight to Bus Terminal 3 instead. We spent a few minutes window shopping before devouring a bowl of yellow noodle soup and hopping on the VIP bus heading from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai.
After arriving in Chiang Rai, we walked to Spinomad Hostel and settled in before heading back out to explore the city. The Saturday Night Market was closed, so we made our way to the Chiang Rai Night Bazaar before stopping at an Indian restaurant near our hotel and calling it an early night.
Filmed December 2022.
There is much more to come in our next two vlogs when we explore amazing temples and night markets that you shouldn't miss!

Hi guys. Check out “Aor Tor Kor” market when you’re back in Bangkok. They usually have on season and off season fruits and the quality is top notch there.
Perfect! We will keep that in mind. I just added it to our list. Maybe we’ll wait and do our fruit video there!

Interesting! We’ll look it up! Thanks for the tip! ✌️😊
Yep the buses have changed a lot today--great to see. Not sure if you saw the Silver temple in ChiangRai Wat Huay Pla Kang: Goddess of Mercy--a must if you come to ChiangRai--itll blow your lights out???. A must to see & for those tourists heading there try Chian Guest House---been a round many years !!!
Ah! We didn’t see the silver temple. Man, that would have been awesome! It won’t be our last trip to Chiang Rai, so we’ll add it to our things to do next time. 🤗 Thanks for the tip!
Chiang Mai
Going to "Phu Chee Dao" that place is very beautiful.
We didn’t get to Phu Chi Dao, but we do get to Phu Chi Fa in one of our next vlogs 👀
Really found your video compelling. I viewed it because I am editing one myself on Chiang Rai and Chaing Mai (together) and I am looking for videos to give me ideas to pull the thread on. And this one gave me some ideas even though our style is a different kind of videos. We will check some more of yours for sure. If I did understand correctly, you said at the end you would stay 10 days at Chiang Rai? Way to go! We are envious! Take care and keep enjoyig!
That’s awesome! Glad you found some inspiration from our video. We will check yours out as well!
We ended up staying 10 days in Chiang Rai province, not in the city itself. It’s absolutely beautiful there!
Thanks for watching and saying hello! ☺️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
😊🤗😊🤗😊🤗😊🤗😊🤗
Great journey.thank you.I wish you and your channel success ❤
Thank you so much!! We really appreciate your support!! 🥰🥰
หลงรักรอยยิ้มที่สดใสน่ารักมากๆ Love you.💞💞💞💞
Aw, thank you so much! 🥰🥰🤗🤗
PLEASE do a fruit tasting video. It’ll be like a spiritual nod to the Filet Show 🥲
Oh we are! We just have to plan it out a bit. We’ll probably do it when we’re in Bangkok.
I recommend Khao Soi Wichittra. Chiang Rai's most delicious Khao Soi If you like tea, Choui Fong Tea Plantation is highly recommended. It takes about half an hour from Chiang Rai. Most importantly, during your stay in Chiang Rai, you should rent a motorcycle to travel to various places easily and cheaply. Chiang Rai is not only beautiful in the city. Chiang Rai's nature tourism is amazing. I'm Thai and Chiang Rai is my favorite province.
Thanks for the tips! We did rent a motorbike, and later a car to explore more. Chiang Rai is such a beautiful province! We had an amazing time there for sure. ☺️☺️
ขอบคุณครับที่เที่ยงเมืองไทย กดติดตามแล้วนะครับ
Thank you so much for your support! 😊🙏
well at this time it's not the season for MAYONG-CHIT you can find this fruit in February
That makes sense! It’s coming up soon!! 😁
Mayong-chit you find at Nakornnayok.
Oh interesting! Nice, thanks so much. We hope to visit all the provinces one day. 🤗 We have seen it at a few places here and there!
We welcome you
Thank you! ✌️😊🥰
You are a very similar couple...so cute
🥰🥰🥰
🙋🤗 👩❤️👨🥰☺️ เที่ยวภาคเหนือให้สนุก นะครับ☺️
Thank you! The north of Thailand is incredible! We love it so much. 🥰
I'm in Chiang Rai. Welcome. My house is near Khun Korn Waterfall.
Hello! Thanks for the warm welcome! I bet that’s a beautiful part of the province to live in. The nature around Chiang Rai is so gorgeous!
I live there off an on for about 10 years,there is also a night life area w/ some Beer bars ,massage parlors and girls are available for the Monger's.
We saw the bar area, we played Jenga and connect 4 at this place called Cat Bar there. The lady who ran it was so nice.
Recommend singah. Park.
Thanks! We’ve heard about it! And we do love Singha! 😊
Lai Lai come over Malaysia 😁
We hope to be there soon! 🤗
Try orange, it’s cheap and tasty during this season.
We have had so many oranges! They are Ashley’s favorite!
Welcome to Happyland😂😂😂
Thank you! 🙏😊
Hi there! Thanks for sharing! We are also thinking to go to Chiang Rai, what app did you use to book the bus from Chiang mai to Chiang rai? Thanks very much!
No problem! We use 12go for all of our transportation booking in SE Asia. 12go.asia/?z=6314995 This is an affiliate link, so if you book using our link, we do earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thanks so much! Feel free to ask us any other questions and we really hope you enjoy your time in Thailand! ☺️🤗
Hi both,it’s John the pensioner from England,doing the trip from Bangkok to chiang rai by train,however doing the exact green bus journey from chiang mai to chiang rai next month.we prefer chiang rai as opposed to chiang mai(less commercialised)don’t forget the hourly’clock tower’ show I think it’s 7/8/9pm it only lasts a few minutes but worth seeing!we have seen the white temple(which is pretty spectacular)looking forward to the blue temple which was not built when we was there.another one to consider wat Huay pla kang(large pagoda)have fun & stay safe!
Thanks! Good to hear from you again John! We wish we had a chance to take the train up from Bangkok. But the bus was fantastic! So much so that we slept most of our trip 😂. We did explore the White and Blue temple, that video should be out soon! We like both Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, but I think we preferred Chiang Mai just because there are so many more food options! 😊 Safe travels on your way here and throughout! We did see the clock tower, it just didn’t make it into a vlog.
Hi love your video we are coming to Chiang rai in November what is the name of that hotel looks nice and not too expensive thank you
Thanks so much! We’re happy you enjoyed it. The hotel is called Spinomad hostel, there should be a link to it in the description of the video. We booked it on Agoda.com. 😊 We hope you enjoy your trip!
I’m afraid the fruit you’re looking for isn’t in season yet. Normally they(Mayong-chit)are on the market in February to March, it may be difficult to find them now. Actually it’s just a month ahead, hopefully you’ll be still in Thailand. Really enjoyed watching your videos. Have a wonderful time🙏🏼❤️
Thanks! We should still be here for at least some of that time, hopefully we’ll find it! ✌️😊
ผลไม้ชื่อ ตะลิมปลิง ครับ
Interesting! We’ll have to check that out 😊 Thank you!
We will be taking this bus from Chiang Rai to Chiang Mai in October. Just curious, is there a bathroom on the bus? Thanks!
I don’t believe so. You may be able to find some with them, but probably not as it’s a shorter drive. We hope you enjoy your trip! That’s a beautiful time of year to be here.
ผลไม้ชนิดที่คุณกำาลังตามหาน่าจะชื่อ มะยงชิด
Thanks! We think we found a market that will sell it soon! We are excited to do our fruit video! 😊
BRASIL 🇧🇷!
Brazil would be an amazing place to visit! We hope to make it some day. 😊
OBRIGADA PELA ATENÇÃO E PELO SEU CARINHO SEMPRE! ESSE SEU RETORNO RÁPIDO É IMPORTANTE PARA O CRESCIMENTO DO SEU CANAL!
Of course! Connecting with the people that support us is the most important thing to us. we love this community! ✌️😊
É claro! Conectar-se com as pessoas que nos apoiam é a coisa mais importante para nós. nós amamos esta comunidade! ✌️😊
ฉันกำลังหาโอกาศไปเที่ยวที่นั้นพอดีครับ เชียงใหม่ เชียงราย
Take it when you can! They are both wonderful places. 🤗
Beautiful video, I wanted to ask you, do you have to buy tickets online or can you buy them directly at the bus station?
Thank you! You can buy them at the bust station or online. I believe the prices are the same. We purchased ours at 12go.Asia a day or so ahead of time.
@@mikeandashley thank you so much for the info
Of course! ✌️😊
สวัสดีครับยินดีต้อนรับครับขอให้มีความสุขมากๆนะครับ
Thank you so much! ✌️😊
น้ารักทั่งสองคนเลยยิิ้นดีต้อนรับไทมุกจ้า
Aw, thank you so much! 🥰🥰 We’re so happy you watch our vlogs!
Where did you buy the bus tickets? I am looking to buy a ticket from Chiang Rai to Chiang Mai but cannot find anywhere to book it in advance!
We booked our tickets on 12go.asia. We only booked a day in advance though. You should be able to find multiple options there though! Hope this helps, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any other questions!☺️
Great video… If you only had 3 days, would you choose Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai?
Oh man. First of all, sorry for the delay! We’ve been inundated with comments. 😅
I think it would depend on what you wanted to see specifically. If you’re a temple buff, taking a trip to see the white and blue temples in Chiang Rai is a must. But personally, I feel like Chiang Mai would be my bet. 👌
@@mikeandashley I'm actually more interested in the cultural aspect. But what makes you more inclined towards Chiang Mai?
Chiang Mai just feels like it has a little bit more to do on the daily. So since we spend a bit longer in a place than your average traveler, it just has a little bit more for us. For 3 days, either place will have your schedule full.
I believe, unless you're really interested in the Golden Triangle (Laos, Myanmar and Thailand borders all converging on the Mekong) that there also may be a bit more cultural things to do in Chiang Mai. While the White and Blue temples are some of the most impressive we've seen, they are more like art exhibits than cultural centers. While Chiang Mai has so many incredible temples in the province that hold some ancient and cultural significance.
Also the food scene is incredible in Chiang Mai. BUT I will also say that the best pad kra pow we've ever had was from a place called "Pad Thai" in Mueng Chiang Rai.
Hopefully this helps!
@@mikeandashley Thanks 😊
อยุ่เมื่องไทยระวังอย่างเดียวรถชนคับ
We luckily haven’t seen a car crash yet! But we have seen two motorbikes collide, just two days ago! 😱
Beautiful vlog. Watching your video from India 🇮🇳 .Enjoyed watching your video. Please visit india 🇮🇳 ❤🧡💚. India is building a tourist circuit in the country.India world's most favorable and beautiful tourist destination. You will have more fun in India 🇮🇳🇮🇳 . 🤩I hope that you will also tour India soon. There are many such places in India too which are full of natural beauty.India is known worldwide for its hospitality.Oldest civilization in the world!
Thanks for watching! India is certainly on our list of places to visit! Excited to explore the food and the culture! 😊 Thanks for your support!
The fruit, mayong chit, is not in season now! By the way, Chiang Rai is over 700 years old.
That explains why we couldn’t find it! I think we had the description a bit off too! We’re getting close to season for it though, so we’re excited! 😊 And 700 years old is crazy! 🤯
Chiangrai, was once an independent kingdom, for northern Thailand. They had their own kings and was taken over by the kingdom of Chiangmai, their family ‘ s linage still exist today.
We heard about that! So much history.
เวลาคุณโดยสารรถสองแถวในเชียงใหม่ โดยเฉพาะรถ4ล้อแดง คุณต้องต่อรองราคาเขาเป็นนะ ถ้าเขาเรียก150 ให้คุณต่อ100 เพราะคนพวกนี้ชอบเรียกเผื่อราคาต่อรอง
That makes a lot of sense. He asked for 200 baht at first, and we talked him down to 150 baht. We weren’t sure if bargaining was acceptable here, but we’re learning that it is.
Where did you buy the tickets? Online?
We purchased them from 12go.tp.st/SRD7bOZO ahead of time. It’s quite easy. You can also go to the bus terminal and pay for them there. ☺️
Hi beautiful
Hello 😊
Hello ,I would like to tell you that your title words of this video are not Thai language , I thinks they are Lao language similars with Thais.
Oh no! Thank you for letting us know! I just went through and updated that. Sorry for the inconvenience! 😅😊
hi can i review your video? i am thai youtuber
Hi! Sure if you’d like to. 😊 Let us know when it’s uploaded so we can come support it! ✌️
เที่ยวไทยระวังอ้วนนะครับ
Yes, it’s easy to get fat here it seems. We’re trying to be more careful now, but it’s difficult with so much delicious food. 😅
Some people would make video about anything even if it's just picking bits of food from between your teeth with a toothpick...ffs, chain Mai to Chiang Rai is what, 3 hours ride? You needed VIP bus for that? Lol
😂 the VIP bus was a dollar more than the regular bus, and we wanted to see what it was like. The whole point of travel vlogging is documenting your experience during travel… and that’s what we did. We take all sorts of transports to get around. Sorry this one didn’t do it for you. ☺️🤷♂️🤷♀️ Thanks for watching and for the feedback.
wrong language
Thank you for letting us know! I've just updated them. We appreciate your support! 😊
What's up with her voice
Not sure what you're implying here, Donna.
Welcome to Thailand.I hope you two will a wonderful time there.
We are having the best time! We never want to leave. It’s so beautiful and the people are amazing! 😁
คนไทยหลายคนจะเป็นห่วงนักท่องเที่ยวที่ถูกเอารัดเอาเปรียบจากผู้ให้บริการที่ไม่เป็นธรรม คนไทยเราจะห่วงภาพลักษณ์ของประเทศมาก อยากให้นักท่องเที่ยวศึกษาข้อมูลก่อนเดินทาง ไม่ว่าจะเป็นค่าที่พัก ค่ารถ ค่าอาหารก่อนเดินทางทุกครั้ง หรือถ้าไม่ได้รับความเป็นธรรมต้องการความช่วยเหลือจากคนไทยให้สอบถามคนไทยได้ทุกคน
We try to as best as possible. The songthaew driver originally wanted 200 baht to take us from Old City to Bus Terminal 3. We asked for a lower price and he agreed to 150 baht. Was this too much?! Thanks for the tips! ✌️😊
ต้องดูจุดเริ่มต้นว่าเริ่มจากตรงไหน คือเมืองเชียงใหม่เขามีอยู่2ฝั่ง หมายถึงฝั่งแม่น้ำปิง ถ้าเราอยู่ฝั่งหนึ่งแล้วข้ามไปอีกฝั่งหนึ่งอัตราค่ารถจะแพงขึ้น ในฐานะคนเชียงใหม่ต้องดูระยะทางก่อนถึงจะต่อรองราคาเขาได้..บางสถานที่ก็ไปง่าย บางสถานที่ก็ไปยาก อย่างเซ็นทรัลเฟสฯนี้ไปยากหน่อย เพราะอยู่ถนนซุปเปอร์ไฮเวย์รอบนอก แต่ดีแล้วตรงที่คุณต่อรองราคาเป็น ถ้าเขาเรียกค่ารถคนละ150 แพงไป ถ้า2คน150ก็OK.
Ok, that’s good to know. It was 150 baht for both of us from the west side of Old City to Central Festival. This makes me feel better! 😊
แฟนคุณสวยน่ารักมาก
Aw, thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰 This made my day! 😊
